woah~ i've no idea how should i start today. it has been so amazing~!!

firstly - i supported children's church, serving as security today in their event~ children's day party! it was pretty easy~ we just had to inform the parents that they are not allowed into the auditorium because the place would be packed with little kids. thank God that the parents were supportive and cooperated with us=)

so, when the service started, my partner and i headed to level 4 to join the parents.

watching the children enjoy themselves and having fun really touched me and i really prayed that i would receive child-like faith, that would grab hold of God's promises so tightly and never let it go. a child-like faith that would always trust God's promises and His ways.

the bible lesson was extremely touching too. its about a cricket seeking joy. it travelled far and met many friends that helped him in 1 way or another just to reach the end of the rainbow. the cricket believes that there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and when he receives the pot of gold, he would be happy.

but when he finally reached the end of the rainbow, there wasn't any pot. so he was extremely sad. but he remembered about the friends that he made along the way that helped him, he was touched by their actions and love.

even though its a simple story, but it shows how much a friend who loves you would do just for you. a friend is always there to support you, to encourage you and to help you. most of all, friends that love one another is something really beautiful.

then, when we started to worship God, the presence of God came and i saw parents raising up their hands and worshipping God. its a special feeling personally and i knew that its the presence of God. a presence that i really missed and loved to feel. a presence that makes you feel peaceful, happy and filled. a presence that lingers in the air though unseeable, untouchable, but feelable.

its really special.

the kids were ushered out of the auditorium and we had to keep a lookout of lost kids. thank God there wasn't any lost kids or unhappy parents=)

cellgroup!

headed to sister sharon's cellgroup for makeup cellgroup. a great message delivered - walking with God. its something so basic in our Christian lifestyle that if we fail to do so, we would not be able to hear from God and through our actions we are who we are.

we're not called to be weekend Christians!

our lifestyle determines the path that we would take. a crooked man takes the crooked path, thats full of problems and difficulties. but a righteous man takes the straight path thats led by Jesus!!

it seems all so easy, but we have to renew our mind and have faith in God!!

thats why i want to have a child-like faith in God=)

felt extremely blessed going to the cellgroup meeting. shall not elaborate it here as its something personal.

well, God's calling me =)
